Reviews and Ratings
The hotel felt like a home away from home with beautifully decorated spacious rooms, though having just one chair and a table felt a bit lacking. The service was top-notch, offering room service, dry cleaning, and a welcome drink. The location was perfect for meeting friends locally and easy access to shops by bus or taxi. The dining experience was lovely with a variety of food options, although a bit pricey. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay over Christmas time.
I stayed at the hotel and had mixed feelings. The rooms, although spacious, felt dated and lacked proper insulation, making it uncomfortable to open the window. The service was efficient, but the location was a bit scruffy and not well-lit at night. The dining experience left much to be desired with the quality of food and timing issues.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, meeting all the expectations of what every hotel should provide. The location was perfect for meeting up with friends who lived locally, although the unlit path at night was a bit scary. The dining experience, especially before leaving early on Sunday, wasn't the greatest, but overall, it was a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable, with clean and comfortable rooms and a friendly staff. However, there were some minor inconveniences that affected my overall experience.
